The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has declared that it no longer recognizes Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President following his impeachment. UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar announced that the party would soon convene to formally remove Gachagua from his position as deputy leader. Speaking in Eldoret after a meeting with regional youth leaders, Omar stressed that UDA remains dedicated to national unity and leadership renewal.
“Gachagua must accept that the political landscape has changed and move on,” Omar remarked. He pointed out that according to the UDA constitution, the Deputy President also serves as the party’s deputy leader, and with Gachagua’s impeachment, it is time to install new leadership.
Omar confirmed that UDA plans to replace Gachagua with Deputy President nominee Professor Kithure Kindiki.
“We already recognize Kindiki as our Deputy President and deputy party leader, but we will officially install him soon,” Omar added. He stressed that the party will make these leadership changes to align with the current political climate and ensure continuity within the party.
In his remarks, Omar also highlighted the government's commitment to involving young people in national development, emphasizing the importance of youth engagement in shaping the country's future.
